Mindful Driving

Is drive-time a hassle for you? Are you usually in a hurry, hustled along by the fear (or certain knowledge) that you're going to be late to wherever you're going ... and once again, a very public and essential-feeling part of your life is out of control? Surprising, isn't it, how something so small, so simple, can leave you tied up in knots and wrung-out emotionally before you even start your day.

So How's Life Where YOU Live?

A semi-serious, semi-humorous piece about life in New Mexico -- one of America's greatest undiscovered treasures.

So How's Life Where YOU Live?

Excerpt from
No Less than You Deserve

As I've said before, and will undoubtedly keep on saying, life is about changes. Meeting them, managing them, learning from them, and getting past them. Some are wonderful and welcome. Others ... not so much.

C for Courage ... and for Caution

I witnessed an episode of valor and honesty today between two people -- only one of whom I know well. It was poignant and affecting in ways hard to describe in other words. I wouldn't call it heart-warming. But it was brave and remarkable and deserving of respect. It was also instructive -- asking me to look at some of my own choices ... and maybe make different ones the next time something similar comes up for me.

Considering What You Owe Others
Considering What You Owe Yourself

Lately life has brought me a lot of messages about the need for balance between 'doing your own thing,' following your bliss, being independent and doing what's right for you ... versus meeting your responsibility to others, participating in your relationships as a positive and healthy support asset -- for yourself and others, honoring commitments you made that others are depending on, and making fair choices that -- as the Hippocratic oath says --

Mindfulness and Stress
Unwrapping Your Package

Most people think they know exactly what pushes their buttons, but they're going for the low-hanging fruit. It's the stuff that's hanging in the hard-to-reach branches that tends to multiply our feelings of frustration, exhaustion and disconnection.

One client -- let's call him Scott -- told me that he knows very well what causes stress for him: "My boss, the fact that he won't give me a promotion, and my stack of bills to pay."

Holiday Mindfulness
Finding Joy in Jingle Bell Schlock

That's the guitar intro to "Jingle Bell Rock" and one of the most ubiquitous sounds of the holiday season. It's nearly impossible to escape this tune -- it's played repeatedly from Thanksgiving through Christmas on radio stations and in department stores.

I used to love it as a kid. Then I grew to despise it in my adolescent years, inspired, no doubt, by my rocker-wannabe friends and their complete disdain for this holiday schlock. "That's not rock!" we'd howl, disgusted. I mean, come on -- "Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet"?

Lessons from a Spider

Since I moved from London and started living in the Italian countryside, I have encountered a greater variety of strange insects than I even thought existed. I have also become more of an observer.

A spider built a web outside my office window. My policy these days tends to be one of live and let live. So I just let it be. Every so often, when I took a break from working, I would go to the window and there he would be; perfectly still, waiting in exactly the same place. In fact, he was there for many weeks; about three or four at least.

One Voice

My wife and I are away on a retreat. We decided to go to the hotel gym for a workout. The gym was ultramodern and we were the only ones there. There were five TV's positioned over the treadmills and exercycles.

She wanted to watch a cooking show, I wanted to watch a sci-fi program. She got on the last treadmill on the left, I got on the last treadmill on the right and we both tuned to different channels.

A consistent thinker is a thoughtless person,
because he conforms to a pattern;
he repeats phrases and thinks in a groove.
